Motorbike ride with Ali - 2nd Jan 2012 - Tuk Cha Lakes

Started the year with a great little day trip out on the bikes with Ali - we went up to some lakes about an hours ride outside of Kampong Cham where there are pontoons going out into the lakes with hammocks. Perfect for relaxing and thinking about the year ahead.

My view from my hammock.

My partner in crime for motorbike rides - Ali.

Lots of red dragonflies around the lake along with millions of pond skaters.

Luckily it was dry season as this road is usually under a meter of water in the wet season.

They even had white swans that you could go off on the lake in - we unfortunately didn't have time to do that!

On the way back we went off the beaten track and went through the local banana plantations to get home.

All the new banana trees that have recently been planted.

We found some old ruins of a Buddhist temple on the way back.
